Previously unreleased heavy acid-rock/proto-prog album from 1972.
Asgard
(initially known as
Osgoode
, named after the street where
Blue Cheer
had their headquarters) was a San Francisco band featuring ace guitar player
Bob Hardy
(a veteran of many Bay Area bands since the early '60s) and
Jake "Gelon" Lau
(
Gideon & Power
,
Mary McCreary
,
Tribe
) on electric violin and vocals. This is their lost album, registered at Roy Chen Recorders in 1972, now released for the first time.
For Asgard
features nine original tracks, perfectly recorded and played, dominated by Bob Hardy's outstanding fuzzy lead guitar and the cool touch of Gelon's Lau electrified violin that recalls UK prog-psych bands like the similar named
Asgærd
or
High Tide
at times. Hard to believe that such a pro-recorded, top-quality album like this was never released at the time. After playing a celebrated free concert at the Provo Park in Berkeley alongside bands like
Mother Cat
and
Summerhill
, the band slowly disintegrated. Download card includes one studio track from the same album sessions plus three raw rehearsal tracks.
